INSTALLATION GUIDE
AIR HANDLING UNITS
GENERAL
The AHF / AHK / AHSK Series is designed for
horizontal recessed installations in a furred down
area, above a suspended ceiling or recessed in the
ceiling. AHF / AHK / AHSK models are for electric heat,
DX cooling, and for heat pump applications. The unit
can be configured for return air flow through the integral
access panel or at the end of the unit. Installation tabs
are built into the cabinet to facilitate mounting the
unit. Optional panels are available that allow a
wide range of installation options. Electric resistance
heaters are available along with optional air
conditioning and heat pump indoor coils. Full service
of all components is easily accomplished through the
access panel.

WARNING: Due to possible damage to equipment or personal injury, installation, service and
maintenance should only be performed by a trained, qualified person. Consumer service is recommended
only for filter replacement.
Installation of this unit shall be made in accordance with the National Electric Code, NFPA No. 90A and 90B, and any
other local codes or utilities requirements.
WARNING: HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE – Ensure all power is disconnected before installing or servicing
this unit. More than one disconnect device may be required to de-energize the equipment. Hazardous voltage
can cause severe personal injury. Make certain all panels are in place before operating this unit.

NOTES
WARNING: Do not store or use any corrosives or combustibles in the vicinity of this unit. All panels
must be in place and properly secured before operating this equipment.
All electrical power servicing this unit must be disconnected prior to removal of any panels. Service of this
unit must be accomplished by qualified trained professional personnel only.
NOTE:
The condensate drain pan shown in Figure 1, has an
adjustment strap to ensure proper condensate
removal. The strap is identified by the arrow in the
figures. If it is found to be necessary, the strap may
be easily loosened and refastened to change the
pitch in the drain pan toward the drain outlets. The
drain pan pitch should not exceed 1/2 of an inch.
For proper drain line connections, follow instructions
from “CONDENSATE DRAIN” on Page 2.
